Meta, Twitter, TikTok Fined by Russia Over Failing to Remove Banned Content

The Moscow court stated that Russia imposed fines on Twitter, Facebook owners Meta Platforms and TikTok on Thursday for failing to delete content deemed illegal by the government. This is the latest in a series of penalties against foreign technology companies.

Moscow has increased its pressure on large technology companies this year. Critics describe it as an attempt by the Russian authorities to impose stricter controls on the Internet, which they say has the potential to stifle personal and corporate freedom.

The Tagansky District Court in Moscow stated that Meta Platforms was fined a total of 13 million rubles (approximately 1.3 million rupees) in three separate administrative cases for not deleting content. According to Russian news agencies, Twitter was fined 10 million rubles in two cases, while TikTok was fined 4 million rubles. Twitter, Facebook and TikTok did not immediately comment.

Meta and Alphabet’s Google will face court proceedings later this month for allegedly repeatedly violating Russia’s content legislation and may be fined a certain percentage of their annual revenue in Russia.

Communications watchdog Roskomnadzor stated that Russia has slowed down Twitter since March as a punishment for posts containing child pornography, drug use information or calling for suicide by minors. Twitter denies allowing its platform to be used to promote illegal behavior.

Moscow also requires 13 foreign technology companies (mainly American technology companies) established in Russia before January 1 to face possible restrictions or outright bans. All three companies that were fined on Thursday are on the list.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
